Now joking aside, I find it strange, courts and police are supposed to have separate jurisdictions... you are not arrested because you ARE guilty, it's not the police's job to judge you; on the other hand, a judge can NOT ignore the fact that you resisted arrest, whether it was justified or not, it does not matter. Well, at least in Greece and Germany, which of course follow different judicial systems it is so... in theory.

As I implied rules, laws, and all that crap are supposed to be obeyed, however unfair they are, otherwise we would have anarchy, and humanity on average has not evolved enough for such advanced social structures

Well... you'd have to show that under the reasonable person standard that:

1: Surrendering to the police would have meant your death
2: You had no method of appealing to a higher authority for protection (or alternatively that you did exhaust all attempts to appeal to a higher authority and were rebuffed)

This is based on the natural law that an innocent man is not morally required to submit to death.

Now suppose that the police chief intends to kill you. Furthermore he has framed you for a murder so that he can deceive his police officers into trying to seize and put you in his power so that he can arrange your death.

So surrendering to the police = death.

The second bit would be you attempting to contact the district attorney, or the internal affairs division, or someone who you could surrender too so that you can go through the court process without being killed by the corrupt police chief.

Neither Yukki nor Yuno are shown doing this. However, considering their youth, a jury would likely determine that they were unaware of who to contact once the police chief became untrustworthy.

Wow, I won't go into detail, since I will be way off topic, but what you wrote is a very dangerous theoretical basis for laws, especially when you consider the extension of the bold part... the natural law that a guilty man is morally required to submit to death

But for the purposes of Mirai Nikki I guess it's OK, since 4 years olds can handle chemical weapons, rape victims lead the cults of their assailants, obviously policemen/judges acting like a psychopaths isn't such a big deal

But you see, that's what's so scary. The deepest roots of psychological warfare plant themselves through the heart and mind, meaning that if Yuno can convince Yuki that she's on his side with no doubts, then Yuki will be putty in Yuno's hands.

Just a theoretical thought, but y'know.

And because of what you said about Yuno needing Yuki alive for her diary to work, she has every conceivable reason to use him just as you say.

Of course, from an audience perspective, it's almost certain that she's totally genuine. The point is that it's still completely plausible (especially using Mirai Nikki values for "plausible") that she's playing him like a fiddle, and the more horrors Yuki witnesses Yuno performing, or being involved in, the more likely it is that he'll begin to suspect that.

Every time the viewer is given reason to root for Yuno, or sympathize with her, something is revealed that cannot possibly be explained away in a manner that would make it all okay. Even if you firmly believe that she'd never hurt Yuki -- and I do believe that -- she's still a walking nightmare, because she just keeps doing things that make her looks like she's planning on skinning him, and wearing him like a goddamned Super Mario suit.

ok then so after all that yea now cop dairy is gone yea next ep going to mid-point of series yet looking inside that bag "skulls" will roll.

indeed cop dairy going all length even gun showdown with yuno to flashboom, holding yuno with knife to be god!!!

yuki really pull big shot by shot the cop dairy & then being exposed by ninth with young cop as witness so cop diary person pull a sorry break his phone & "bye" with favor keep his son safe.

oh yea indeed keep beware of yuno after message of aru but yoink yuno "whacked" the message now she all "bag skulls" in her bag hmm indeed mid-point eps is next.

oh mur mur extra reveal more how cop dairy want to be cop give cause old man beat up & breaking house give later run away kick the bucket & also cause of cop dairy want to be cop to beat up rubbish while explain in coffee place

The thing is the twelfth episode deserved the conclusion at how Kurusu-san ended the way he chose he did.

The standoff was delightfully climatic, because they pitted Yuno against Kurusu. Kurusu wanted to become Deus in order to save his son, and he was as determined as Yuno can get (though not in Yuno's special psychotic manner) to put everyone in the line of fire even if it was his own family; he had to move forward without regrets and becoming Deus surely would see to save his family.

Kurusu is after Minene one of my third favorite characters. The guy did not want to put on contrivances for image sake so as to keep appearances, unlike other diary users did.
He was exploiting the advantages of his position as a detective to keep a supervisor role as the game was moving on.

He called off his alliance with Yukiteru and got the kids at a rain of fire crossroads, that could not be excusable. However, a parent like him knowing that his own child doesn't have much time left, once learning it and being full conscious of a straightforward way to save that life then, naturally, he would choose to take it no matter the consequences later on.

BTW, the story is as commendable, because it shows how the writers can naturally turned the emotions on the audience to love Yuno, jeopardized during a critical standoff, and then vanishing off those emotions from us when she quickly reverts to her psychotic state at the conclusion of the episode for two things:

Spoiler:

1. The bag she carries contains what appears to be skulls and those were, in fact, what Yuki likely could have seen in the forbidden room.
Reson to carry them: She's going to dispose of the evidence so as Yuki never finds out.

2. Whatever things Akise wants to say or report to Yukiteru, whether Yuno is involved in them or not, then from now on he'll have to say them face-to-face to Yukiteru. Being the cuddly but overbearing, psycho girlfriend Yuno has become she'll be exerting a tightening control over Yukki's diary e-mail.

Yuno is crazy, she could have done a lot more in the past that we have yet to discover. Either that, or there may be another diary owner within the police force trying to remove his/her biggest threat.

Well I have to say I feel for the 4th and no wonder he with down the road his son's illness was indeed the driving force behind his actions. Also it seems he was planning on back stabbing Yuki and Yuno from the start most likely waiting until the end of the game to do it and probably would have won however his son's health got worse causing him to speed up his plans which in the end cost him the game.

i am not happy with this eps for only showing Yuno killing the SWAT guys with a little gun, i prefer she using something like an axe

with the stuff Yuno carrying in her bag, i am starting to worry for Yuki's dad...

Yeah, Yuno is your psychotic yandere. Anyone that she feels is a threat to her relationship with Yuki, she wants to kill them off. And the show still hasn't answered what happened to the people in the room at Yuno's house. She is absolutely insane and creeps me out but Yuki needs a woman like that seeing as he is so weak-willed at times.

Yuno's starting to show her true dark side (since it's almost halfway through the series). Yes, I agree with you. That wimpy (who now is a lot braver than earlier in the series) Yuki needs a strong girl beside him, even if she is a psycho (at least she knows how to kill)
